Eighty volunteers will be recruited and allocated into four study groups depending on age and BMI. Three groups (each n=20) will receive daily ca. 15 g linseed oil (mean age: 25 and 55 years; mean BMI < 25; and mean age 55 and BMI > 25). One group (n=20) will receive n-3PUFA free olive oil (mean age 25 and 55, BMI < 25). The double-blind, randomized, parallel-designed study will start with a two-weeks run-in period, followed by an eight-weeks supplementation period. After the run-in period, one week and eight weeks of oil supplementation blood will be drawn and 24-h urine will be sampled.
